My wife and I are thinking about moving to Florida,Orlando,Ridge manor area. What kind of job's are available(if any)? I know my wife could get a job pretty easy she is an registered L.P.N. But myself I'm not sure. My type of work is factory work or retail. Can anyone give some GOOD advice? Thank-You.

Factory work is very, very tough unless you have a very specific skill with experience (CNC for example.) Even then you'll be up against potentially hundreds of local candidates--people who already have a network of friends and associates who can reach out to the hiring manager for them.

Retail is easier to come buy, but don't expect to find anything full time or make more than about $8/hour--even with experience.

By the way, is your wife a registered nurse or an LPN? There's no such thing as a "registered LPN." If she's a RN she'll have no problem finding a job with benefits making at least $40K. If she's a LPN it will be harder to find something, but there are LPN jobs out there. Those pay $28K and up, depending on experience and where she ends up working.
